Indeed but since then the DMCA[0] has radically shifted to the law. Sega would win today.

IANAL, but the two things seem related, why is GP being down voted? From just a reading of the wiki pages without much law knowledge it does seem like sega would win today? What I am getting wrong?

See Chamberlain v. Skylink for a post DMCA case on the matter.
